“The sports hall gets used often by many, getting the man power, time and money to get this done was no easy task. What the staff of Santander have done is ticked all three boxes.”

Asfordby Amateurs got charity status back in November and signed a 30 year lease with Melton Town Estate to take over the whole of Asfordby Acres. The club have plans to upgrade the facilities to provide a great experience for all that use the site.

The work Santander staff have completed has allowed Asfordby to concentrate on other areas of redecorating.

Santander regional manager, Alex Collins, presented a cheque for £250 to the club to help with ongoing costs and after working so hard in the sports hall, the volunteers found the energy to participate in a charity football match to raise funds for two worthy causes.

The game raised £226.40 for Age UK and Barnardos which was matched by Santander.
